GOT - Lightweight and supposedly faster alternative to git
It keeps the working directory separate from the version control (allowing more than one working directory), and has slightly different syntax. IIRC:

# clones version control to gwc.git
# make sure you use -a so you always have branches from origin available
got clone -a https://github.com/alisterh/gwc 
# checks out to gwc
got checkout gwc.git gwc
# switches working directory to a different branch
cd gwc
got checkout graph_working
